In this research, Septic AKI was triggered by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) operation in wild-type mice, which treated with or without an S100A9 inhibitor, Paquinimod (Paq, 10 mg/kg) that prevents S100A8/A9 to bind to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). The gene discussed is S100A8; the disease is acute kidney injury.
